Bullet-Like Belief

where will our perfect bodies go
when you’re down with me in the ground
and all the faces that we’ve known
have wilted, burnt, or been cut down
where will you go?
Where will you go?
When our youthful colors fade
And our great rambling days must end
Don’t let the failures of your days
Replace the time we’ve shared, my friend
When you are down
When you are down
(chorus) I believe
In you, brother
Ain’t nobody
Gonna’ change that now
I believe
In you, buddy
Ain’t no one
Gonna’ slow this bull(et) train down
When there’s nothing more to say
Please help me lay this paper down
And have the strength to step away
(to/and) hear some beauty in that sound
when I am down
when I am down
(chorus) I believe
In you, brother
Ain’t nobody
Gonna’ change that now
I believe
In you, buddy
Ain’t no one
Gonna’ slow this bull(et) train down

Long Shot
03:23
|

Fairness tears at the longshot
Giving me a reason to say goodnight
It’s all the better for the drums and wishes
You never should have put up a fight
Because you see yourself instead of hearing others
And someone tells you it’s alright
The last thing they have is room for another
Faded star that no one can find
And you know I don’t feel good about it
I don’t like bringing you down
But the things you spend your time looking up to
Will surely end up on the ground
As you pray for guidance and things you can’t have
Just talk with friends you already know
Thank your mother for her precious investment
She just might happen to know
Players meet at the talk shop
Sniffing one another for something cheap
What they find instead is an awkward reception
Accompanied by my uneasy teeth
But you can’t look down, or knock a girl for trying
Who are we to hammer a call
Someone who’s spent enough time in reflection
To worry who they are anymore
You know I don’t feel good about it
I don’t like bringing you down
But the things you spend your time looking up to
Will surely end up on the ground
You pray for guidance and things you can’t have
Just talk with friends you already know
Thank your mother for her best of intentions
She still might happen to know

Time to Kill
03:16
|
|||
She had a home in Colorado
Down where the sandstone meets the clay
Settled deep within the shadows
Of a mountain that never was named
I’d like to visit her someday
Hope she invites me
I’d like to see the sun some up on those ragged peaks
One of these days, I will stop and think about it
One of these days, I will find some time to kill.
Below the onramp and the freeway
For a moment the world stands still
I imagine it’s just how she feels
When the snow comes down
Not a sound she hears for miles and miles
Chorus (2)

Feelin' Low
04:36
|
|||
When I’m standin’
Up on the mountain
Looking down
I see the brightest stars above
When I’m standin’
On top of the mountain
Lord I can feel
I feel the right kind of love
The kind of love
That you feel when you’re alone
And you know that it’s just there
When you’re feelin’ low
Just look up in the sky
And lo, and behold
When we’re standin’
Looking down on the town below
and I can squeeze you
I know the best is yet to come
When we’re laying
‘Round on the mountain
Lord, now come on baby
You gotta give me all your love
The kind of love
When you know you ain’t alone
Your heart’s completely theirs
When you’re feelin’ low
Look into her eyes and lo….and behold
When you’re feelin’ low
Look into her eyes and lo….and behold

Far Cry from Here
03:37
|
|||
I’ve heard misfortune losses
And wasted ways before me by the costs
Of givin’ someone time enough for spendin’
Love only borrowed
I’ve placed myself at ease
Listenin’ to the lies of self belief
For wantin’ somethin’ close enough for keepin’
A far cry from Here
But I believe in ways than these
To speak another dear who has been spared
Innocent so near
A far cry from Here
Even still the night is passin’
Behind a heart an emptiness still follows
The distance dams the swallows hard for lendin’
Love only borrowed
Chorus
Some are sad but true to know
There’s belongin’ in just longing for someone
My shoulder rests a road I only follow
Love only borrowed
Repeat Chorus
A far cry from here
A far cry from here

Humble Child
02:59
|

Lord take me now
That black cloud’s coming ‘round
And I’ve let myself down
Take me now
All morning long
This whole world’s struck me wrong
Now that light is nearly gone
Won’t be long
I’ve been the voice of ignorance
Pounding at your door
I’ve seen just enough of this
To call me back for more
I’ve seen fire
Burn across the sky
Water bluer than her eyes
And rivers wide
I’ve been the voice of ignorance
Pounding at your door
I’ve seen just enough of this
To call me back for more

Confessions
03:53
|
|||
Every time I look away
I hope to God you haven’t changed
Don’t believe me if I say
That I’m in love—it just slips away
It won’t always be this easy
We may never feel the same
But I’ll be ok
I’ll be ok…with that
(I) see the movies in your eyes
Puts the light of life in mine
I’ll take you anywhere you like
Leave the bills and shows behind
They can keep the skyline
We can leave the grey
And I’ll be ok
I’ll be ok…with that
I’ll be ok (3)
I’ll be ok …with that

To the Homeland
03:39
|
|||
The moon hangs full in the rain
The mornin' star shines your name
Poor children on the streets after dark
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Turnin' my back to the wind
Scratchin' time around my chin
Deep water frozen under the bridge
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
chorus
Sweet words have I heard from you
A steady love beyond the blues
Ready waitin' if I'm able
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Spillin’ over where I been
Shadow man boxing again
Tossin’ and turning a thin dime in my hand
Crossin’ my heart to the homeland
There's a silence in the hills
A lonesome road standin' still
Miles and miles between us to fill
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
chorus
chorus
Crossin' my heart to the homeland

Tear Down
07:05
|
|||
Where the pavement meets the pastures
I can feel my current change
Though they fight with one another
I can love them both the same
We build up to tear down, tear down again
We build up to tear down, tear down again
When I step beside my actions
I can feel my mind go lame
But despite his holes and fractions
I can love him just the same
Build up to tear down, tear down again
We build up to tear down, tear down again
So take a moment for the shadows
Take a moment for the day
Feel the cracks beneath your windows
And learn to love them all the same
build up to tear down, tear down again
build up to tear down, tear down again
And I’ll come around
Oh I’ll come around
again
